	Abstract = {Egyptian fractional numerals are partitive expressions of two types: (a) A simple substantive
specific for naming the natural fractions `half' gs, `quarter' hsb, `third' r, `two thirds' r.wj. (b) A
complex partitive numeral formed with the substantive r `part' and a number, r-num (meaning
`the nth-part'), which became generalized -- also for `quarter' and `third' -- as the standard
Middle Egyptian denomination for fractional numbers. Fractional numerals documented in
Middle Egyptian hieratic mathematical papyri are related to their argument by means of genitival
syntax: gs n r.wj `half of two parts'; h, r.wj=f `a quantity, two parts of it'. We propose a
syntactic structure for Egyptian fractional numerals that specifies the lexical and grammatical
categories and the linguistic operations used to build the numeral and its relation with the argument operated over.},
